LAs in Charleston, SC?
Hello. I know that I'm knew here, but I was wondering if there are any liveaboards in Charleston, SC that would be kind enough to share a moment of their way of life with this curious and highly interested land-locked soul this Sunday. I apologize that I have to leave the time window so narrow, but I'll be down there for my sister's wedding, and that's where all my time has to go.
Even if this weekend doesn't work out for anything sail related from the forums, I still plan on stopping by a few marinas and seeing what's out there, try to look at some boats and at the very least finally see the sea again
I would like to get to know sailors in Chucktown as it's only a few hours away, and is realistically the most logical spot to try to move to when I do eventually start my own adventure as an LA (albeit in at least another year's time, possibly more as I want to gain some solid sailing experience first).
Cheers, happy sailing

3 Ways to Know He's Just "That Into You!"
By Dr. Tranquility – Lydia Belton, PhD, Ct. H.A.
Once you're in a relationship, it can be hard to tell if you and your partner are on the same page as far as your wants and needs for the future. You may question the strength of his feelings toward you, even if he's quick to say, "I love you." It's one thing to take a first date and move it into a relationship, but how do you know when your partner is ready to move even further forward?
As a woman, you most likely want more time and more involvement from your mate. You're ready for a commitment, whether that means moving in together or perhaps marriage. Regardless, the bottom line is that your relationship now comes with a view to the future as opposed to plodding along day-by-day. It's time to connect in a way that you can't put into words, so here are three ways to know he really is "all that into you":
Related: What Attracts Us to Bad Boys?
1. He can't bear to be without you.
If you find your partner refusing to go a day without talking to you and he is always making future plans, he's probably feeling that his life isn't complete without you. If you want a celebrity comparison, think Matt Lanter and Angela Stacy. The 90210 star just popped the question to Stacy in June, and the two have nothing but smiles on their faces.
2. He invites you to travel with him.
When a man invites you on a trip with him, he wants to spend quality time with you. The fact is, men don't invite women they won't want to be with to travel with them. Think Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in this situation. The two have been spotted all over the world, even in Vancouver where Lively met Reynold's family.

3. He's showing more than lust after the third date.
After the third date, if communication between you is still great, he should be making a point to create a space for communication and bonding. Despite the spanx and Victoria's Secret lingerie, he is ready for emotional intimacy and no distractions. Just look at the happiness that Joshua Jackson and Diane Kruger bring to the celebrity world.

Foucault discusses the question of madness and how to define it by studying madness from 1500 to 1800--from the Middle Ages when insanity was considered part of everyday life and fools and madmen walked the streets, to the point when these people began to be considered a threat, asylums were built for the first time, and a wall was erected between the insane and the rest of humanity.

Description The present invention relates to access and rendering of information in a computer system. More particularly, the present invention relates to access of information using recognition and understanding. Recently, technology has been advanced to allow the user to access information on a computer system by providing speech commands. Upon receipt of a user command, the computer system performs speech recognition on the user input and further processes the input in order to ascertain the intent of the user in order that the computer system will perform a desired action. In some situations, the input provided by the user is incomplete or indefinite, which will require the computer system to solicit further information from the user either in the form of visual or audible prompts. A dialog can thus be established between the user and the computer system, where each takes turns providing questions, answers and/or acknowledgments until the intent of the user is ascertained and an action can be performed. In other situations, creating such a dialog is the preferred mode for interacting with the computer system. Speech Application Language Tags (SALT) has been introduced to facilitate speech as a viable input/output modality for modern user interface design. The design goal for SALT is to make common speech tasks simple to program, yet allow advanced capabilities with straightforward realization. SALT was designed for many applications. One being, for example, a telephone-based, speech-only application that only interacts with users exclusively through spoken dialogue. SALT includes speech input and output objects (�listen� and �prompt�), which have a mode design to incorporate technologies to detect the start and the end of the user's turn. Accordingly, many speech applications employ user interfaces that require the user to signal the start of a user turn. Some computer systems include wearable computers, speech enabled modal or multimodal (speech input provided for fields selected by an input device such as a mouse) devices and other eyes-free applications. Nevertheless, in each of these environments, a clean cut definition on the user versus computer system turn in the dialog is still present. Human conversation however does not generally follow a clean cut, turn-taking dialog between participants. Rather, conversations can include acknowledgements, confirmations, questions by one participant, etc., while the other is providing information that may drastically affect, slightly affect or not even affect the manner in which the speaker is providing information. Human speakers enjoy this natural form of conversation. Likewise, telephone systems employ full duplex technology in order to allow such conversations to take place. In contrast, dialogue based interfaces employ a rigid turn-taking mode of operation between a user and a computer system, which causes the computer system to wait for the end of the user dialog before processing and taking subsequent action. Although simple feedback, such as visual indications like a series of dots progressing across a computer screen, may provide the user some assurance that the computer system is at least processing something, until the user finishes his/her turn and the computer system responds, the extent of understanding by the computer system is not known. Accordingly, there is a need for improvements in a computer systems that is based on recognition and understanding. Such improvements would provide a system or method for accessing information that would be easier to use by being more natural for the user. A method and system provide a speech input mode which dynamically reports partial semantic parses, while audio captioning is still in progress. The semantic parses can be evaluated with an outcome immediately reported back to the user. In one aspect, a speech understanding system includes a language model comprising a combination of an N-gram language model and a context-free grammar language model. The language model stores information related to words and semantic information to be recognized. A module is adapted to receive input from a user and capture the input for processing. The module is further adapted to receive SALT application program interfaces pertaining to recognition of the input. The module is configured to process the SALT application program interfaces and the input to ascertain semantic information pertaining to a first portion of the input and output a semantic object comprising text and semantic information for the first portion by accessing the language model, wherein performing recognition and outputting the semantic object are performed while capturing continues for subsequent portions of the input. The partial semantic parses, which typically include the text for the input received (or other data indicative of the text of the input), but also ascertained semantic information, are provided to an application module 16 that can take many different forms. For instance, in one embodiment, the application module 16 can be a personal information manager that is used to send, receive and reply to e-mails, arrange meetings and the like. In this manner, the user can provide audible commands to perform these tasks. More importantly though, the application module 16 can provide interactive feedback and/or take actions on the partial semantic parses information as it is received, thereby providing the user with a highly interactive interface for the application module 16. For example, in a voice only mode of operation, an output 20 can include audible statements back to the user, while, of course, possibly performing other tasks related to the application. The partial semantic parses or semantic objects can be used to execute dialog logic in the application. For instance, the dialog logic can present an option, or a plurality or list of options, to the user based on one or more semantic objects. This enables the system 10 to immediately report outcomes based on a partial utterance, namely, before the user turn has ended. In other words, by using back channel communication to report and perform tasks normally associated with a system turn, the definition of a user and a system turn is blurred. Most conventional dialog studies, especially those based on human to human dialogs, often view the back channel communications as non-intrusive feedback that conveys only simple signals such as positive, negative, or neutral acknowledgement. However, the feedback provided by output 20 can potentially carry more information so as to be somewhat intrusive to the ongoing user utterance, which may or may not cause the user to clarify the user's intention or direction. Nevertheless, this approach provides a more realistic human dialog between the user and the system 10, which in many cases will not be considered annoying, but rather be more comfortable to the user and instill confidence that the user's desires will be met. At this point it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to a voice-only operating environment, but rather can include other forms of feedback to the user based on processing of partial semantic parses or objects. For example, in the application discussed above where the application module 16 performs e-mail tasks, the output 20 can include visual feedback such as activating an e-mail module based only on receipt of a phrase such as �Send e-mail� in an uninterrupted command from the user comprising �Send e-mail to Bob�, where processing of the phrase �to Bob�, may cause the application module to access further information in data store 18 and render a list of people having the first name �Bob�. Whereupon seeing the list, the user simply identifies the intended recipient as �Bob Green�, which can then be selected because the system would have provided another semantic object for the partial utterance �Bob Green�, which upon receipt by the application and processed would cause �Bob Green� to be selected. As indicated above, the application module 16 can take many forms where aspects of the present invention discussed further below may be beneficial. Without limitation, the application module 16 can also be a dictation module to provide a textual output of the user's spoken input. However, by processing semantic information for partial input or phrases of input as well, a more accurate transcription can be obtained. Although described above with respect to an input from the user comprising voice commands, aspects of the present invention can also be applied to other forms of input such as handwriting, DTMF, gesture or visual indications. Given the broad applicability of processing partial semantic parses or objects, it may be useful to describe generally computing devices that can function in system 10 described above. As appreciated by those skilled in the art, the components of system 10 may be located within a single computer or distributed across a distributed computing environment using network connections and protocols. Referring now to In the exemplary form of a data management mobile device 30 is illustrated in Referring now to RAM 54 also serves as a storage for the code in the manner analogous to the function of a hard drive on a PC that is used to store application programs. It should be noted that although non-volatile memory is used for storing the code, it alternatively can be stored in volatile memory that is not used for execution of the code. Wireless signals can be transmitted/received by the mobile device through a wireless transceiver 52, which is coupled to CPU 50. An optional communication interface 60 can also be provided for downloading data directly from a computer (e.g., desktop computer), or from a wired network, if desired. Accordingly, interface 60 can comprise various forms of communication devices, for example, an infrared link, modem, a network card, or the like. Mobile device 30 includes a microphone 29, and analog-to-digital (A/D) converter 37, and an optional recognition program (speech, DTMF, handwriting, gesture or computer vision) stored in store 54. By way of example, in response to audible information, instructions or commands from a user of device 30, microphone 29 provides speech signals, which are digitized by A/D converter 37. The speech recognition program can perform normalization and/or feature extraction functions on the digitized speech signals to obtain intermediate speech recognition results. Using wireless transceiver 52 or communication interface 60, speech data can be transmitted to a remote recognition server 204 discussed below and illustrated in the architecture of Similar processing can be used for other forms of input. For example, handwriting input can be digitized with or without pre-processing on device 30. Like the speech data, this form of input can be transmitted to the recognition server 204 for recognition wherein the recognition results are returned to at least one of the device 30 and/or web server 202. Likewise, DTMF data, gesture data and visual data can be processed similarly. Depending on the form of input, device 30 (and the other forms of clients discussed below) would include necessary hardware such as a camera for visual input. In addition to the portable or mobile computing devices described above, it should also be understood that the present invention can be used with numerous other computing devices such as a general desktop computer. For instance, the present invention will allow a user with limited physical abilities to input or enter text into a computer or other computing device when other conventional input devices, such as a full alpha-numeric keyboard, are too difficult to operate. The invention is also operational with numerous other general purpose or special purpose computing systems, environments or configurations. Examples of well known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the invention include, but are not limited to, regular telephones (without any screen) personal computers, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, tablet computers, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, set top boxes, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, distributed computing environments that include any of the above systems or devices, and the like. The following is a brief description of a general purpose computer 120 illustrated in The invention may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a computer. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote computer storage media including memory storage devices. Tasks performed by the programs and modules are described below and with the aid of figures. Those skilled in the art can implement the description and figures as processor executable instructions, which can be written on any form of a computer readable medium. With reference to Communication media typically embodies computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. The term �modulated data signal� means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, FR, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer readable media. The system memory 150 includes computer storage media in the form of volatile and/or nonvolatile memory such as read only memory (ROM) 151 and random access memory (RAM) 152. A basic input/output system 153 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 120, such as during start-up, is typically stored in ROM 151. RAM 152 typically contains data and/or program modules that are immediately accessible to and/or presently being operated on by processing unit 140. By way of example, and not limitation, The computer 120 may also include other removable/non-removable volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media. By way of example only, The drives and their associated computer storage media discussed above and illustrated in A user may enter commands and information into the computer 120 through input devices such as a keyboard 182, a microphone 183, and a pointing device 181, such as a mouse, trackball or touch pad. Other input devices (not shown) may include a joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 140 through a user input interface 180 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interface and bus structures, such as a parallel port, game port or a universal serial bus (USB). A monitor 184 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 141 via an interface, such as a video interface 185. In addition to the monitor, computers may also include other peripheral output devices such as speakers 187 and printer 186, which may be connected through an output peripheral interface 188. The computer 120 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 194. The remote computer 194 may be a personal computer, a hand-held device, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 120. The logical connections depicted in When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 120 is connected to the LAN 191 through a network interface or adapter 190. When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 120 typically includes a modem 192 or other means for establishing communications over the WAN 193, such as the Internet. The modem 192, which may be internal or external, may be connected to the system bus 141 via the user input interface 180, or other appropriate mechanism. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 120, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. By way of example, and not limitation, In this embodiment, architecture 200 is unified in that whether information is obtained through client 100 or phone 80 using speech recognition, a single recognition server 204 can support either mode of operation. In addition, architecture 200 operates using an extension of well-known mark-up languages (e.g. HTML, XHTML, cHTML, XML, WML, and the like). Thus, information stored on web server 202 can also be accessed using well-known GUI methods found in these mark-up languages. By using an extension of well-known mark-up languages, authoring on the web server 202 is easier, and legacy applications currently existing can be also easily modified to include voice recognition. Generally, client 100 executes HTML pages, scripts, or the like, generally indicated at 206, provided by web server 202 using a browser. When voice recognition is required, by way of example, speech data, which can be digitized audio signals or speech features wherein the audio signals have been preprocessed by client 100 as discussed above, are provided to recognition server 204 with an indication of a grammar or language model 220 to use during speech recognition, which may be provided by client 100. Alternatively, speech server 204 may include the language model 220. The implementation of the recognition server 204 can take many forms, one of which is illustrated, but generally includes a recognizer 211. The results of recognition are provided back to client 100 for local rendering if desired or appropriate. If desired, text-to-speech module 222 can be used to provide spoken text to client 100. Upon compilation of information through recognition and any graphical user interface if used, client 100 sends the information to web server 202 for further processing and receipt of further HTML pages/scripts, if necessary. As illustrated in Access to web server 202 through phone 80 includes connection of phone 80 to a wired or wireless telephone network 208, that in turn, connects phone 80 to a third party gateway 210. Gateway 210 connects phone 80 to a telephony voice browser 212. Telephony voice browser 212 includes a media server 214 that provides a telephony interface and a voice browser 216. Like client 100, telephony voice browser 212 receives HTML pages/scripts or the like from web server 202. In one embodiment, the HTML pages/scripts are of the form similar to HTML pages/scripts provided to client 100. In this manner, web server 202 need not support client 100 and phone 80 separately, or even support standard GUI clients separately. Rather, a common mark-up language can be used. In addition, like client 100, voice recognition from audible signals transmitted by phone 80 are provided from voice browser 216 to recognition server 204, either through the network 205, or through a dedicated line 207, for example, using TCP/IP. Web server 202, recognition server 204 and telephone voice browser 212 can be embodied in any suitable computing environment such as the general purpose desktop computer illustrated in Having described various environments and architectures functioning in system 10, a more detailed description of various components and the function of system 10 is provided. Recognition engine 306 provides at least one surface semantic output object based on the partial utterance. In some embodiments, the recognition engine 306 is capable of providing more than one alternative surface semantic object for each alternative structure. Although illustrated in The interactive dialog discussed above, which also includes other forms of informative feedback by the system 10 based on partial semantic parses or objects can be implemented using SALT (Speech Application Language Tags) or other speech, handwriting, and pattern recognition APIs (Application Program Interfaces) that support a language model construct that can provide semantic information based on a selected schema for a given application and semantic object synchronous decoding. SALT is a developing standard for enabling access to information, applications and web services from personal computers, telephones, tablet PCs and wireless mobile devices, for example, but can also be applied to application interfaces as well without interconnection across a network. SALT extends existing markup languages such as HTML, XHTML and XML. The SALT 1.0 specification may be found online at http://www.SALTforum.org. It should be noted that SALT can provide semantic information based upon the user's input, for example from speech server 204, which such information forms the objects provided to data rendering module 16 after completion of an utterance; however as discussed further below SALT can be used in manner not previously contemplated to provide partial semantic parses or objects. Use of SALT extensions, or similar extensions in other APIs, provides support for highly interactive event driven user interaction. Using SALT by way of example, the SALT listen object can be used to perform both speech recognition and understanding tasks. This is because the design follows the viewpoint and formulation that treats speech understanding as a pattern recognition problem, just like speech recognition. Both strive to find a pattern from a collection of possible outcomes that best match a given speech signal. For speech recognition, the pattern to be found is a string of words whereas, for understanding, a tree of semantic objects. A traditional speech recognition task instructs the search process with a language model in composing the likely word strings. In a similar fashion, a speech understanding task can guide the same search engine to compose the suitable semantic object trees with a semantic model. Like a language model that often implies a lexicon and the rules of composing phrase segments from the lexicon entries, a semantic model implies a dictionary of all semantic objects and the rules of composing them. While the recognition outcome is a text string, the understanding result is a tree of semantic objects. Although it is possible to extend N-gram to return a structured search outcome, most typical speech understanding applications are based on probabilistic context free grammar (PCFG) where the designers can specify rules of composing semantic objects without massive tree-bank annotated training data. One method of specifying such rules is to associate each PCFG rule with production directives for the search engine on how to transform the partial PCFG parse tree into a semantic object tree. An example written in Microsoft Speech Application Interface (SAPI) (which is also an example of a speech API that can be used in the present invention) format is shown below: The composition of semantic objects can also be a dynamic process, for example, in scheduling a new meeting. For instance, a NewMeeting semantic object will be produced when the user finishes specifying the meeting properties such as date, time, duration and attendees. Templates can be used to paste other semantic objects as constituents into the NewMeeting semantic object. The same principle can also be applied to other rules not shown here. As an example, an utterance �schedule a meeting with Li Deng and Alex Acero on January first for one hour� will result in the following semantic object: The semantic language model, on the other hand, aims at using the decoder or recognizer to search for the semantic structure, which is usually better captured by PCFG. Therefore, instead of embedding CFG fragments into N-gram, the PCFG is used to contain N-gram by creating a special PCFG pre-terminal that corresponds to an N-gram of interests. In Microsoft SAPI grammar format, this can be denoted using a pre-terminal with an XML <dictation> tag, as in
Further details regarding the semantic language model are described in K. Wang, �Semantic modeling for dialog systems in a pattern recognition framework,� in Proc. ASRU-2001, Trento Italy, 2001, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A further aspect of the present invention includes a new use of the SALT listen object. SALT provides a set of XML elements, with associated attributes and DOM object properties, events and methods, which may be used in conjunction with a source markup document to apply a speech interface to a source page. In general, the main elements include:
The listen element can include a �mode� attribute to distinguish three modes of recognition, which instruct the recognition server (e.g. 204) how and when to return results. The return of results implies providing the �on Reco� event or activating the �bind� elements as appropriate. In a first mode, �automatic�, the speech platform, rather than the application, is in control of when to stop the recognition process. This mode has been advanced for telephony or hands-free scenarios. As soon as a recognition result is available, and/or where a time period has elapsed indicating silence, the speech platform automatically stops the recognizer and returns its result, which can then be associated with the appropriate field through the bind element. In a second mode of operation, �single�, the return of a recognition result is under the control of an explicit �stop� call. The stop call would correspond to an event such as �pen-up� by the user, and this mode is advanced for being used in a multimodal environment where the device allows speech input, but the user is generally under control of which and when to select fields for example through the use of the stylus 33 ( A third mode of operation of the speech recognizer is a �multiple mode�. This mode of operation is used for an �open-microphone� or in a dictation scenario. Generally, in this mode of operation, recognition results are returned at intervals until an explicit stop call is received or the or other time periods associated with unrecognized input or a maximum time to listen are exceeded. Generally, in this mode of operation, for each phrase that is recognized, a �on Reco� event is issued and the result is returned until the stop ( ) call is received. However this mode of operation, as another aspect of the present invention, can provide a means for the search engines to expose more interactive capabilities to the users by allowing them to report immediately whenever a salient linguistic landmark is reached. Search algorithms based on time synchronous decoding are well known and can be employed for this mode in a straightforward manner. One such algorithm is described in H. Ney, S. Ortmanns, �Dynamic programming search for continuous speech recognition,� IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, pp. 64�83, 1999. For speech recognition, the linguistic landmark usually corresponds to a word or a phrase boundary. A SALT multiple mode recognition can therefore be used to display dynamically the word string hypotheses as soon as they are available, a UI effect commonly seen in many commercial dictation software. However, in the present invention, the multiple mode can treat the instantiations of semantic objects as linguistic landmarks and report, i.e. provide some response as a function of what was understood, back to the application on them in a dynamic manner as well. This appears to the application designer as if SALT is performing a semantic object synchronous understanding. This mode of operation may be better understood by comparing it with a multimodal scenario. In the multimodal scenario, a user indicates a field, for example, by pointing and holding the stylus in an input field while speaking. While the user can tap onto a generic field and utter an elaborated sentence to fill many fields in a single sentence, the tap-and-talk interface nevertheless engages the eyes and hands of the user, a scheme not appropriate for many situations. In addition, although tap-and-talk features a rich back channel communication that displays the volume and a progress bar of the underlying spoken language process, those feedbacks provide only very primitive clues to the quality of the spoken language processing in terms of speed and accuracy. This can be potentially more problematic for longer sentences in which errors can propagate to a wider scope that eventually requires more efforts in merely verifying and correcting the recognition and understanding outcomes. Since the usability studies seem to indicate that long sentences are a key differentiating factor that demonstrates the utility of speech as more than a keyboard enhancement or alternative, a satisfying UI experience is absolutely necessary to the success of using speech as a viable modality. In order to promote the perception of human-computer as closely collaborative partners in achieving a common goal, semantic object synchronous understanding, by reporting the partial semantic parses or objects as soon as they are available, is effective. In one embodiment, this is achieved by using the multiple mode of the listen element in SALT. In particular, for the listen element a multiple mode is designated and all of the recognition grammars are then specified for the input speech to be recognized. The assignment of results is also specified in the listen object. For example, HTML input code to acquire necessary information, such as date, time, location, subject, and meeting attendees, etc., for creating a new meeting might take the form:
The multiple grammars compose a parallel search space for the recognition with a null transition looping back to entry point. In this mode, SALT allows the listen object to raise an event as soon as a grammar is exited. The event forks a parallel process to invoke the bind directives in sequence while the underlying audio collection and recognition are ongoing, thus creating the effect to the user that relevant fields on the form are being filled while a spoken command is still being uttered for an application that has a visual rendering of fields. For user interface for eyes free applications, accompanied speech outputs might be desired. In that case, SALT prompt objects can be used to give immediate feedbacks. For example, the following SALT prompt object can be used to synthesize response based on the dynamic contents in the date field, and the speech synthesis can be triggered with additional SALT bind directives as follows:
The net effect is the user feels like he/she is talking to another party that not only jots down but repeats what is heard, as in �Schedule a meeting (new meeting) at two (starting at two o'clock PM) next Tuesday (on 10/29/02) for two hours (duration: two hours)�, where the phrases provided in parentheses represent the audible and/or visual prompts (which also can be synchronized) back to the user. It should be noted that SALT allows designers to attach customized recognition event handlers that perform sophisticated computations beyond the simple assignments as with the SALT bind directives. In the above example, the date normalization can be accomplished in the semantic grammar which, however, cannot facilitate advanced reference resolution (e.g., �Schedule a meeting with Li Deng and his manager�). For such cases, algorithms can be implemented as script objects accessible to proper event handlers to access stored data to ascertain indefinite references. Such algorithms are described in K. Wang, �A plan based dialog system with probabilistic inferences�, in Proc. ICSLP-2000, Beijing China, 2000 and European Patent Application EP 1199630A2, published Apr. 24, 2002, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. It should be noted that although the multiple mode operation existed for the listen object, in current implementations, this mode provides only text for the received input such as in the dictation scenario. However, in this aspect of the present invention, the partial results as input is being received is not only the text, but also includes the corresponding semantic information pertaining to the text, and thus the output comprises partial semantic parses or objects, which can be used as described above to provide the user more quality feedback that the computer has properly understood what has been received. Depending on the sophistication of the application receiving the partial semantic parses or objects, the system can provide back to the user confirmations, alternatives, corrections and clarifications based on the partial semantic parses received. Although in multimodal applications it is known to include multiple grammars to allow the user to speak ahead, and thereby, provide the ability to provide information that has not been indicated, using the listen element in the multiple mode operation can be better because it provides to the user a higher indication of understanding. In a voice-only application, a natural form of dialog is generated, whereas if using visual renderings are employed, an application can begin processing (taking actions, displaying interim results or options e.g. through pop-up windows) based only on partial semantic parses of what the user has so far provided and while the user continues speaking. Although the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Creeping thyme is great in a full sun location, as long as the soil provides good drainage. And very tolerant to foot traffic. Elfin thyme (Thymus praecox 'Minus') is the lowest growing, forming a dense, mat-like carpet. |

Cheryl Stillman's Chandler home is a doll lover's paradise. Hundreds of dolls in every size and color, many wearing extravagant fashions, fill curio cabinets in several rooms of her house. Each is labeled with its name, manufacturer and date.
Dozens of the elegant outfits the dolls wear are award-winning ensembles Stillman created.
Making doll clothes is a hobby that's relaxing for the semiretired home economics and science high school teacher from New Jersey.
"I will sew clothes as a destressor," said the 64-year-old, who learned to sew from her mom. "It's been a relaxing thing for me all my life."
She started collecting dolls in 1995, then combined it with her love of sewing to create doll fashions.
"I love the 22-inch dolls because I can make the outfits more detailed," said Stillman, a substitute teacher at Willis Junior High School in Chandler.
She discovered doll conventions in 2000 and began entering her designs in competitions. She travels the country attending an average of six conventions a year and is active in three doll groups, serving as secretary of two.
"I totally enjoy people I've met through the whole experience," she said. "It's just a neat bunch of people. I've made some really, really good friends through doll collecting."
Almost every outfit she's entered has won a first- or second-place ribbon.
"I'm just doing this for my own enjoyment," she said. "The honors and the ribbons are just a nice side to it."
Her outfits range from a sparkly trapeze-artist outfit with a large feathery cape to a '70s-style dance outfit.
Her highest award so far was first place in best-dressed fashion doll category and collector's choice at the Modern Doll Collectors Fashion Awards for a beautiful floor-length, halter-style burgundy ball gown with ribbon lace and hand-sewn beads. The dress also was featured in the December-January Doll Reader magazine.
"This takes so much less fabric, and the measurements don't change," said Stillman, who used to sew all her and her two daughter's clothing.
She's always on the lookout for a great outfit, cool fabric and the right size buttons, ribbons and jewelry.
Her outfits begin with sketches on paper. Then she makes her own patterns. The first try at a new outfit uses cheaper fabric to see how the outfit fits. Once that is perfected, she sews the outfit again using the desired fabric.
If you go
What: Cheryl Stillman shows and talks about her award-winning doll fashion designs
When: 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday

I would recommend this mascara to those who need that extra volume and tinted look. It goes well with my favourite neutral palettes and instantly enhances my Lashes. I happen to have small droopy eye lids and this fits well. It can get messy though.
This is probably the best mascara I have used. I don't have the best eyelashes - they are very short and sparse. This mascara really brought them to life without the help of a curler. I am very happy with this product.
I paid $20 AUD. I'd definitely buy this product again!
For the people experience clumping, don't keep re-coating. I tried that and they didn't turn out very nice.
Easy, non-clumpy application + nice fat lashes + great wear with no raccoon eyes + easy wash-off with soap and water = awesome. But it's SO expensive. When my last tube finally died, I spent $28 on four inferior attempts at replacement with drugstore products when I should have just ponied up the $22 for this stuff. Blah.
I bought this as seeing how much great reviews it was getting but was sorely disappointed due to such high expectations. It's nice but i wouldn't say it was great, it gives good definition, not much length, clumps when I try to coat a few times and get some volume. Overall I wouldn't purchase again, I only use it in combination to my other mascaras, because it doesn't hold curl very well as it's very liquidy so I feel it just doesn't do anything for my lashes. My lashes aren't short but they're fine.
I originally had a sample of this and was so impressed i bought the full sized product. I think it was round $34 AUD.
It comes in the characteristic bright pink model co packaging with quite a thick tube.
As the name suggests this product gives gorgeous fat lashes.
I love using it in combination with Maybelline full and soft.
The only negatives are that this is not waterproof so it does run when splashed, and the writing on the packaging wears off after a while.
I do love this though and will definitely repurchase!
I love mascaras. So whenever one crosses my path I'm usually on my way to the counter to pay for it. So when I saw this giant pink tube of mascara I knew I had to have it. Its one of the best mascaras I own. My lashes look fake from how thick they get. It really opens my eyes too. I feel so sexy after using this mascara. Fat Lash is definitely becoming a staple in my makeup routine.
I received this mascara, full size, as a GWP when buying another of ModelCo's mascaras. At first glance I wasn't impressed - stumpy brush, dry feeling formula. But after giving it another go, and playing around a bit, I really quite like it. Once you have your technique down (for me, this is switching back and forth between my eyes as I build up the layers, giving each layer a few seconds to set, but not too much), you can build up your look from natural to dramatic without clumping.
I really love the hot pink packaging, though I felt the mascara as a whole was a little small. One thing I found frustrating with this mascara was the constant flaking after a few hours wear. I like to wear my mascara all day, so this is a pain for me. However it is easy to use, and since I got it free, I can't complain about the price. Seeing it for retail sale though (I think it's around $35-40 here) I don't think I'd purchase it again. I'd rather save an extra $15 and buy DiorShow.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
At first I wasn't a big fan of this mascara...but now, after using it a while... i must admit I cant be without!! Wow, it gives me really nice thick lashes with a dramatic false-lash-effect!
Apparantly it took me some time to figure out how to apply it best...
I used to curl my lashes, but it looks way better without curling my lashes...and i apply a few coats throughout the day...wow, amazing!
For years I've always used Max Factor's Stretch and Separate mascara.. that was the only mascara that I absolutely loved and I've tried them all. ModelCo's FAT LASH works even better.. ! All you need is one coat and you're good to go. Absolutely no clumping whatsoever.. !! It really makes your lashes pop! It's really worth a try.. you'll love it!

Secretary Bialecki Tours Taconic High School Machine Shop
PITTSFIELD – Thursday, March 6, 2014 – Housing and Economic Development Secretary Greg Bialecki today toured the machine shop at Taconic High School in Pittsfield.
During the tour, a live training class was in session, providing a firsthand glimpse of how a regional partnership is responding to the workforce demands of manufacturers and training new workers to fill the jobs in demand. The tour highlighted the partnership's stackable credential pathway, created between Taconic High School and Berkshire Community College (BCC) and modeled after the Manufacturing Advancement Center Workforce Innovation Collaborative (MACWIC) certification pyramid to help vocational students and under and unemployed workers master skills required for a career in manufacturing.
"This partnership between two educational leaders is providing our workforce with the skills they need to compete, and producing valuable members of the advanced manufacturing workforce," said Secretary Bialecki. "Massachusetts is leading the nation in growing a 21st century advanced manufacturing sector thanks in part to this collaborative effort, and through our continual support of this vital industry we will ensure a strong manufacturing workforce for our future."
Prior to the tour, Secretary Bialecki led a roundtable to discuss the progress that has been made in creating a local partnership that responds to the middle skill workforce needs of manufacturers in the region. This meeting is one in a series taking place at manufacturing sites across the Commonwealth to discuss regional manufacturing partnerships as leading examples of how workforce, education and business leaders are working together to train entry level workers to increase the talent pipeline and training incumbent workers as part of succession planning for hundreds of manufacturers across the state.
"The partnership between Berkshire Community College and Taconic High School has created a state-of-the-art program that prepares students to enter the workforce while on a pathway to college. Thanks to workforce development grants, the BCC/Taconic collaboration recently certified 25 students with credentials from the Manufacturing Advancement Center Workforce Innovation Collaborative. All students participating in the Level I course passed with a 100 percent pass rate. We anticipate continued success for many years to come," Mark Lausier, Manufacturing Tech faculty member at Taconic High School.
"BCC's Manufacturing Program is a significant partnership between a community college and a vocational school and we're proud of what is taking place and we are excited about the future," said BCC President Ellen Kennedy. "We welcome the opportunity to showcase our program and we thank Secretary Bialecki for his interest and support."
"BCC and Taconic's new advanced manufacturing partnership will provide the 'problem solving' worker needed for the future workforce," said BCC Vice President for Community Education and Workforce Development Bill Mulholland. "Our program blends highly technical manufacturing skills with a college education, which provides the underpinning for innovation. Moving forward, this innovation in our manufacturing companies will become the competitive weapon for the Commonwealth."
The partnership received support from the U.S. Department of Labor Community College Transformation Agenda grant and the Commonwealth's vocational school equipment program. Regional partners are also working together on a grant through the state's AMP It Up campaign to increase awareness among students, parents and career counselors about careers in manufacturing at companies across the state that are creating the world's most interesting and innovative products from cosmetics to wind turbines to racing bikes to lifesaving drugs. These careers have an average annual salary of $75,000.

I am officially declaring the airship back in action after seeing the Stratocruiser from NAU. NAU has designed a conceptual airship that would offer all of the luxury amenities of a cruise ship with the birds-eye-view only available from an aircraft.
Most aircrafts aren't conducive to leisurely and luxury travel. The Stratocruiser would make that possible thanks to its massive design that is surprisingly sustainable. The body of this craft would be made from carbon fiber with photovoltaic cells covering the retractable roof. The interior of the Stratocruiser is as luxurious as any cruise ship afloat with amenities such as a full spa, library and climbing wall. If you ever get sick of living in luxury you can always make your way to the deck and look down on the historic monuments or lush landscape below which, in my opinion beats looking at the big blue ocean for hours on end.

My response to the Washington Post Article:
http://bit.ly/bw63RpHere comes the first of the stories that will inundate America for months unless we chose to speak out about more and more people who are loosing benefits, homes, hope, faith in this Country. Please contact your local news paper(s), congress people, anyone you can think of. More and more people are falling off the unemployment statistics making them invisible to everyone. Except to those who want them anywhere but in their towns, want them to have no food or help from groups nongovernmental or governmental. The people who are screaming about the lowering of property values from "bums" walking around or trying to catch a little sleep.They are called smelly and dirty. They are. They have no where to bathe or clean their clothes. They are called parasites who are sucking "us" dry because they are lazy and don't want to work. They are called disgusting because they dumpster dive for food so they don't starve. The are called crazy and they should be locked up. Spend a year on the streets and then talk about all of the above.What will those very Unchristians people say when their families their friends and they themselves wind up on the streets? Will they insist they aren't like "those people"? I'm sure they will. What will they say about getting a job when they can't keep themselves and their clothes clean? What will they say when they try to get help at all those government agencies who's budget they radically cut, who they wanted closed and they are turned away because "we just don't have the funds any more?"All of the "jobs" that are allegedly being taken by illegal aliens aren't taken by Americans when they fall open but that will change. Scrubbing toilets for minimum wage is better than the alternatives.I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take anymore. When someone starts blaming illegals and lazy people who don't want to work, I will give them facts and figures. When politicians say what ther polls say they should instead of the truth I will speak out with facts and figures. WILL YOU?

There's a movement coming, rising slowly but steadily. It is a reaction to those who's virulent hatred is spewed all over the papers, television and radio. As a result, repeal of DADT is so very close to passage. It isn't over due, it's a never should have been.
John McCain, in a very tight race to stay in his job, has promised to filibuster until it goes away. Just for the record, he's a former supporter of the bill. http://bit.ly/aA8IAZ In the meantime, the right wing wants the law completely repealed; apparently on the assumption that Americans will rise up and force it's reinstatement out of fear loathing and bigotry. For the first time in who knows how long, the right and left agree on something! Hurray. I read an article from April of this year, about the end of the stupidity that's DADT will destroy military chaplaincy. http://bit.ly/da7IqH. How sad for the chaplains who believe it and the people they will abandon as a result. Chaplains are trained to serve all sorts of religions in the service. Jewish Rabbis definitely aren't Christian but function and minister/priest when need. Catholic priest are suppose to be anti-every other faith including what they consider heretics, i.e. any other church that claims to be Christian, yet they perform services for Methodist, Baptist, Buddhist etc. Frankly I'm convinced they are afraid. They are apparently too old to be flexible. Curiously they are flexible for other beliefs. It would seem that's as flexible as they can get. But they aren't the only chaplains in service. It seems it's just the ones who are retired and those who disagree. Wouldn't you love to know the number of active chaplains who oppose ending DADT? I surely would. What about the number of Senators who are running scared of loosing their seats?
Yes, I'm agitating – again. Deal with it.

hi all,
Just bought a papaya plant and see I need to protect it from fruit flies and worms. My papaya plant is already 3 feet or so and has several small papaya growing, which are about an inch right now. How big should they get before I put protection on the papayas? A baseball? A lime? now? My current thought is to use panty hose, doubled, until they are big enough to hold a paper bag, which I'll tie with panty hose around the trunk. (thanks for the advice GW!) Thanks!
Follow-Up Postings:
I bag mine as soon as the flower petals fall off. I use 8" white waxed cookie bags and a bread bag style tie wrap and punch small holes in the bag for air circulation. Others may have found differently, but it seems like the smaller ones get stuck before a larger one. Maybe a growth period required for the Larvae? At any rate, even if a fruit gets stuck you can tell by the milky sap leaking out of it. I leave it on the tree and so far I believe one fruit will get stuck many times and the flies leave some alone? This is my first year growing papaya and I was told to wait for the winter to enjoy the fruit as the papaya flies aren't a problem then. No, I won't do that... I'll do whatever I have to in order to get some fruit. It's bad enough that I get ~20% male trees for all my seedling growing efforts :-) |

Oh wow, thanks. Looks like I can start to cover the fruit this weekend! Thanks for letting me know how to identify a stuck fruit. Will prevent a future question :) My tree is a male/female plant. I know there's a word, but at this moment, my gardening vocab has already reached it's saturation point for the week :) The funny part... I don't even know if I like papaya... I've never had it before! haha. Happy growing! |

Renovating Rail in Southeast Arkansas
Officials in southeast Arkansas are hoping the renovation of an industrial railroad line will help generate economic development in 2014. The rail line links Louisiana's Lake Providence port on the Mississippi River to the Union Pacific Railroad in McGehee.
The line is used primarily to transport agriculture products, such as cotton and timber. Both of those products have a strong tie to the development of McGehee. The town boomed when railroads were first introduced to the area to ship those goods in the late 19th century.
Glen Bell is the executive director of the Southeast Arkansas Economic Development District. Bell told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Arkansas has given $4.5 million and Louisiana has provided $2 million to renovate the 90-mile line.
The rail line continues from McGehee to Pine Bluff, where it meets with two other Union Pacific lines that provide access throughout the state and into the region. The renovations should be complete sometime next year.

37% of homes for sale in Seattle metro are unaffordable
Remember a couple weeks ago when we wrote about how the average Seattelite needs to be making around $59,000 annually to buy an average house in the area?
We got a bunch of comments saying that sounded unrealistic. Turns out, they were right. Zillow just released new home data saying that 37% of homes currently for sale in Seattle metro are unaffordable.
This is higher than the national percentage of unaffordable home, 33.6%. According to Zillow, homeowners are currently spending about 21% of their monthly income on mortgage payments (that's an estimated $1,216).
This data was taken at the end of March, when there were roughly 7,000 homes for sale in the Seattle area and only 4,400 were considered affordable for the typical buyer. This means more and more people looking for homes on the outskirts of Seattle proper.
Zillow has come up with an interactive map to help people find affordable property in the area, and how far you would have to move in any direction to live close to the city.

That's so sad to hear about. You would think they would try to lower the prices a little to get more views. I know with the economy today that's a little hard because you want to get back what you paid for. It just makes me wonder where prices will be with houses in 10 years.  http://www.nywaterfronthomes.com/Pages/Watertown.aspx
It is really not too surprising that part of the housing market is out of the price range. Housing are something that not everyone can afford, but feels like they can anyway. Traditionally it can be done if you make a really good budget and stick to it. The amount of an income people spend when they should be saving is very interesting to look at.
We are planning on moving out of the city with the knowledge that we may never be able to afford to come back. I am looking for homes for sale in Rochester, MI, and it is much more affordable, however, we need help finding a home for sale.
Mark Leach | http://mymichiganhomesearch.com/rochester/
My family is moving. With that, we are looking for a nice family to buy the house. I have never sold a house before. It is quite challenging. I guess no we just wait. http://www.thetodayteam.com/page/1180289/AreaInformation/coquitlam
I'm looking at different homes for sale and I don't know which ones I should look at. I don't want to waste anytime looking at houses that are not worth looking at. I am looking for a beautiful home close to water that isn't too big. http://www.marinabayrg.com/dorchester/Â
Buying a house is always super stressful. I am trying to help my sister find one and it is a killer. I hope that I will be able to figure it out and help her find one she'll like.  http://www.viewspringfieldhomes.com/new-listings
Well if they are unaffordable no one would buy them and the prices would fall. Next article.
What a... SHOCKER!Â
Homes began to become "unaffordable" around here way back in the mid-80's, when the California transplants began arriving with the inflated proceeds from the homes they'd just sold down there. They had so much money to buy and bid-up our formerly "affordable" homes, that the housing market quickly skyrocketed, forcing anyone who didn't have loads of cash and/or a really good job or trust-fund to go begging. A lot of locals sold their homes to the transplants, and "couldn't believe how lucky they were" to get "so much money" for a house that had cost them $5000.00 back in the 1950's... until they realized they couldn't buy anything comparable because they'd now been priced out of all the decent areas in the entire city. We are still reaping the offal from that "luck" to this very day...
Affordable or not I would not want to live within the Seattle City Limits... too many undesirables around - not enough parking and not to mention too many people who feel entitled to take whatever I earned for myself through working hard and study | Seattle long since pasted its appeal on places I'd want to have a permanent residence. Even the suburbs I live in now are developing the consistency of the local sewer in regard to just who lives there and is around which has me looking to find another place to live yet be decent close enough to work... since this state is declaring war on our wallets via excessive gas taxes...
Didn't I read that a large percentage of real estate is now owned and being marketed by some of the same people who brought us the wonderful mortgage fiasco?
There's no way we can afford a home here in King County. We tried to buy when we moved here ten years ago, but the small equity we got from selling our home in Lewis County would not get us anywhere close to a home purchase.  Actually no way I want to live my retirement years in Seattle; give me some nice, quiet little town..........sigh.
No surprise. Been in Seattle for just over a year and after last years upturn in home sales was amazed at what was on the market and what people were willing to spend⦠crazy money for homes that had not seen updates for 50+ years or VERY nice and VERY expensive - and don't get me started on the flippers.
Between the scary downtown, horrible traffic/infrastructure and crazy cost of living - quality of life balance is definitely in the pits. Thank goodness this town has the scenery, weather (yeah, I don't mind the rain and the summers can't be beat) and the Seahawks.
There will be many people saying "then why don't you leave?" - actually relocating within the next few months.
"Downtown Seattle is quickly becoming the most expensive area to live in by a landslide" Â Interesting choice of words, given that in the next good earthquake, all those expensive, hip condos are going to BE in a major landslide! Â All of downtown Seattle was built on fill & when the big one hits (if not before), it's all goin' down, folks. Â I wouldn't live down there for anything, even though I can probably afford to.
Unaffordable? I'm sure someone can afford it. Some people are just too jealous they can't.
@Audio Cat  Tacoma is cooler than Seattle anyway.  Seattle just thinks it's cool--but it's too full of itself.
@FF-KS  Seattle is currently a strong sellers market⦠great for the sellers, disappointing for buyers. Does this make me jealous? Yep - it sure does. Home ownership strengthens communities, when the economy prohibits people (even those with good incomes) from purchasing homes it only makes Seattle less desirable for everyone.
@FF-KS Â No, I don't think so. Â This city has become something I feel less & less a part of (been here since 1966) & I can't wait to retire, sell my pricey home, take the resulting $$ & go someplace with more sun, a lower cost of living and fewer silly policies.
@Space 454 @Smartypants @Audio Cat  Seattle thinks it's much cooler than it actually is--rapidly becoming the glitzy chain-store playground of the well-off.  It lost its funky soul years ago.

I started designing back in 2010 and I didn't intend to even start it just sort of happened. I was a typical teenager with a passion for computer games and started uploading videos to YouTube. I started seeing these amazing montages being made and thought "I want to do that". I got myself a copy of Photoshop and slowly made my way into designing websites and apps. I've always loved design, ever since I can remember I've always been drawing or sketching. I had no official qualifcations when starting out so I learnt the hard way, hours and hours of tutorials and trial and error. I feel that teaching myself is one of the best things I could have done as it gave me a passion and hunger for pixel perfect design that is still with me today.
I ususally like to start with as much research as possible about the subject and the client. After I have all of the research I look at inspiration to get a feel for what my client is looking for. From there I move onto the development of ideas and the beginning stages of wireframes. Wireframing and planning are in my eyes the most important part of any project as you can save a lot of time later on by planning out everything correctly. Finally after feedback from my client I move onto choosing the correct direction and get down to designing.
Below is some of my recent work from Dribbble, have a look through and get in touch with me today if you would like to have a chat about any future projects :) My work consists of mostly UI/UX work.
